Great technical support, excellent webhooks, and has been very stable
We are using a hybrid deployment model with as much infrastructure off of Frontegg's servers as possible. It's my understanding that we were one of the first customers to do this due to the fact that the setup was not documented well or intuitive. Luckily, Frontegg's developers were very flexible and willing to help work through the process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has Audit Log and many cool features that if we were to develop them by ourselves, it would require a lot of research and development resources. Frontegg gives us everything we need to ensure that our customers have a safe and reliable authentication system in which they can also manage some of the features and roles by themself which gives them more control over their environment."
"Every feature is multi-tenant by design, making different customer requests effortless to provide."
"Their developers were always willing to meet even though we are in very different time zones."
"The MFA policy via Frontegg allows us to enable/disable/enforce the Multi-Factor Authentication policy of our users and to enhance security and adhere to modern standards."
"We like the SSO, permissions and roles, multiple workspaces, and react login components."
"The admin portal layer is super useful and saves valuable front-end development time."
"The single sign-on feature is the most important."
"Easy setup, deployment, and integration in different infrastructures, including virtual ones."
"RSA Authentication Manager is a robust solution that provides comprehensive protection for both on-premise and cloud-based applications."
"It is a good solution for token identification."
"I have found RSA Authentication Manager to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the provision part. The mapping and the logging is also very good. In addition, the troubleshooting, from a console point of view, is easy for administration and on the provisioning and logging part."
"It stands out as a comprehensive and adaptable solution that excels in both on-premises and cloud-based authentication, offers strong security with multi-layered authentication, and boasts a well-maintained product with reliable performance."
"RSA Authentication Manager is the best available solution."
 

Cons

"The web interface is missing a way to delete a workspace. I have accidentally created a workspace and was not able to delete it. It's a minor thing that should be supported."
"It would be nice to have a backup export with all tenant/users so that in case of a mistake we can have the option to restore the users."
"Frontegg is fairly stable, however, we are looking forward to some promised capabilities, such as more tightly integrated Feature Flag support."
"We really like the ability to add the same user across tenants. From a UX perspective, the flow can be betterized."
"The PHP SDK is limited. It's not a huge deal as we can just use their web API directly, but it is something to note if you're using PHP.‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎"
"We're hoping to see more user management-related features, according to Frontegg's roadmap."
"RSA Authentication Manager is perfect. We do not see current missing products or enhancements yet emphasize the importance of a continuous development roadmap."
"We have encountered issue when trying to expand this particular solution for a large set of users across the country."
"The product's capabilities to protect cloud environments need improvement."
"We are not planning on using the solution in the future."
"There is room for improvement in the RSA support."
"Our major problem is the authentication via Microsoft, via Microsoft cloud systems. This is our major aim, to be a valued product for the future. The biggest problem is to work against cheap cloud systems. Cloud identification is our main problem at this time."
"Perhaps parts of the the user interface should become more intuitive."
"We found technical support was not very responsive to our requests for assistance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is a little bit complicated because sometimes resellers are able to make prices that are too low. Our price, with a discount, is typically not as high as some of our competitors."
"As a new customer, the minimum cost would be four dollars, but you have room for negotiation, potentially bringing it down to as low as three dollars."
"The solution is costly."
